We harvest fresh flowers of star anise. Then dry it under a sun temperature above 30 * C. After that, we remove the flower stems. And remove the broken flowers. When the humidity in star anise is 13%, we collect it. And pack in 10kgs carton.

The most important thing is the temperature and humidity in the air when it dries. We have to control it. Otherwise, star anise could be a fungus after 20-30 days by sea transportation.
